very interesting, i see it as something painful that happened but it helped you to grow and become who you are, you may not have seen it at first but it was your own will that pulled you out of that hole you were in. We all go through trials and tribulation, its how we deal with them and come out of them that makes us who we are. and makes us strong.

Well that was the most beautiful surprise I've had had my dear beloved Stephanie Shakespeare in quite some time.

First of all I hope both you and your dear son are happy and healthy with love in your life and you will always be one of the best writers/poets that I've ever had the pleasure of reading and one of the nicest ladies I've ever me - it was a good day when we both met and I will post and link your newest and latest masterwork to my FB wall for everyone to see - thank you for inspiring me with this one - you rock my world as always!
